13. You know, I do accept that concentrated catechins (sp?) from green tea will harm you.

But I find the current turgid torrent of supplement punching kind of bemusing - because I don't think it is having the desired effect on those of us who take a few supplements and find them useful.
I have not taken a prescription for a very very long time, and the last prescription I took was just 600 mg ibuprofin or whatever. The last two things my doctor prescribed listed worse side effects than what was bothering me, so I am on record as not taking them. And now I am fine, anyway.
